Here are what some reviewers are saying about Checkmate...


Shelly from Dark Diva reviews gave Checkmate 5 Delightful Divas! and had this to say...


If you like romantic suspense, you're going to love this one. Kendall's brother, Trace, is kidnapped and FBI Special Agent, Dawson Cade is called in to protect Kendall and help find her brother.


Kris Norris weaves a very fine tale of mystery and romance with a persistent criminal who stays one step ahead of Dawson Cade. He leads them on a twisting path through the wilderness with an unrealistic time-frame to complete various tasks with a multitude of threats to keep them moving. Through all of this, Dawson comes to care for Kendall and fights his attraction to her, knowing he's there to protect her.


Forced into constant contact, Dawson and Kendall want to seek comfort from each other in a difficult situation, but know they have to keep each other out of harms way. Dawson is torn when he realizes he must use Kendall to lure the criminal out of hiding.


Kris Norris ties everything together in a fast-paced, detailed story that's very easy to get addicted to. Dawson is the perfect hero. In the end, he’s there to save the day and get the girl. The sexual tension between Dawson and Kendall, as well as the mystery of solving the crime kept me on the edge of my seat. Checkmate was a truly enjoyable read and I will definitely seek out more stories from Kris Norris!

    High adventure and danger around every corner spells thrills for this adrenaline-packed story by Kris Norris. Checkmate is an intriguing read with interesting characters that engages from beginning to end.  I liked both Kendall and Dawson, which made it easy to root not only for their survival, but for them to get their happily ever after with one another.  Dawson was strong and protective, as a hero of his position should be.  Kendall was incredibly self-sacrificing and had guts, which I admired...All in all, I greatly enjoyed Checkmate and Ms. Norris definitely left me wanting stories for some of the supporting characters.
